Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: msmtp
In file .msmtprc the "password [secret]" keyword a trailing space is
needed after the password [secret] in order for my settings to work on
my ISP SMTP server (I do not have the trailing space as my password).
Without trailing space msmtp would exit normally ("exitcode=EX_OK" from
the logfile) but the mail would not be sent. The way to get around it is
either manually input the password (by commenting out the password line
on .msmtprc and be prompted for entry) or enter the password line in
.msmtprc with a trailing space.
The trailing space is not documented on the man pages or websites (by
google-ing).
Following attached is a copy of my .msmtprc
=====================================
logfile /tmp/msmtp.log
account sendOnly
auth login
host [SMTP Server]
port 25
user [User]
from [Email]
password [PASSWORD][trailing space " "]
account default : sendOnly
